vivkulan Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Built this kit OOB to represent Indian Army BMP-1 served in the north western borders of India. Used Tamiya acrylics, oil paints for weathering and white glue and play sand to create desert diorama..Any suggestions , criticism welcome. Thanks Vivek Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tank Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Not bad overall, the biggest issue I see is the track. It is too slack and needs to be tightened up. Where it hangs in the back should be a lot straighter between the road wheel and idler wheel. I don't recall how the kit is but if it is individual track you can remove probably two or three links. If it is rubber band, you can trim it a few pads and re tack it underneath the front armor plating where it would be hidden. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The tracks were individual links and it was a nightmare putting them together. I will see if I can take some links off to make it tight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
